this team is too strong for a championship side. Now some regulars will have to play 3 games in 8 days , plus we played 3 days ago our last game.

That's a pefect game for fringe players, we'll need them sharp if/when our top players get injured or burn out due to playing too much. There's no reason to play Herrera and Martial for instance. Also why not Shaw who need playing time and confidence boost. Bastian would be another logical pick for a game like this.
We will most likely play the most games compared to our top 4 rivals so we need to priorotise.
imo today Jose made a shit decision
